Despite some weakness in the soft drink sector, Domino's Pizza business was booming, according to its third-quarter results.

The mass market pizza seller said it earned 43 cents per share in the third quarter, up from 35 cents in the same period last year.

In addition, Domino's (DPZ) said sales at U.S. stores open at least one year rose 3.3% for the quarter. Overseas demand was also strong, with same-store sales at international locations up 5%. During the third quarter, Domino's opened 121 stores outside of the United States.

Opinterest: $DPZ What a monster! Stock now up 7.7% after it reports 5% international comp growth. Just scalped another quick 50 cents

spbaines: Excellent results from Domino's Pizza. I still think mkt under appreciates its margin & FCF leverage to rising international sales. $DPZ $$
